After importing some entries into my MultiTerm database using Glossary Converter, some entries display a language twice within a definition

Question

Hi, 
 I think it's probably easier to see in the screenshot. As you can see, my termbase has English, Icelandic, and Spanish. In this case, the glossary I imported had English and Icelandic only, and there were two rows in English with "above," one for each Icelandic term. This has caused English to show up twice in this term. Interestingly, it doesn't show up twice on the list when you're browsing the termbase and when you select languages on the ribbon, English appears just once.

Is there a way I can make those duplicates disappear in MultiTerm? 
 Thanks in advance. 
 Best regards.

Hi Fernán González 
 
It looks as though you might have introduced two types of English into your termbase. So perhaps "English" and "English - United Kingdom". I'd export the termbase to Excel , correct the spreadsheet, and recreate the termbase as you want.

Hi Fernán González 
 
If you lost the synonyms (and I assume by links you just mean they are synonyms and not that you actually added cross references to them?) then I would suggest running the export again so you include everything that is in your termbase. Then once you have got your complete spreadsheet work through it and concatenate your synonyms with a pipe symbol between so when you convert the spreadsheet back to a termbase MultiTerm knows what to do with them. 
 
So if you have separate entries for two synonyms like this: 
 
baffle 
confuse 
 
Enter them like this in a single cell: 
 
baffle|confuse 
 
You need a row per entry with source language in one column and target language in another. All synonyms should be in one column entered as above. Then the Glossary Converter will be able to handle the link correctly.
